‘A Yellow Level 2 warning for damaging waves leading to localised damage to coastal infrastructure and difficulty in navigation at sea is expected between Plettenberg Bay and Richards Bay in the morning,’ reported the SAWS.

Along with cold temperatures expected to hit some parts of the country, the SAWS issued a Yellow Level 2 warning for damaging winds which could lead to further disruptions along the coast between Gqerbeha and Durban too.

Light snow was also predicted over the Winterberg and Amathole mountains. This comes after predictions of snow over parts of Lesotho and the central Eastern Cape the past weekend.
